Qin Xiao did not show his trump card easily, but nodded with a smile and said: "Master Song took the initiative to ask for help, that's the best thing." He looked at Yuwen Chengchao and asked: "Lieutenant Yuwen, do you think we need to find out about the pirates?
How should we start with the details?”
"They are Jianghu forces." Yu Wen Chengchao said simply, "If we let people from the government investigate, there may not be any progress in a short time. Jianghu people do Jianghu things, but my subordinates have an immature idea."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "If you express your immature ideas and discuss them with us, they will become mature."
"General, do you still remember Cui Mancheng of Xingluotang?" Yuwen Chengchao asked.
Qin Xiao naturally remembered that when Long Rui's army first entered Guangning City, Liaodong's staff Fang Wei wanted to use Xingluotang to cause trouble in the city, but Cui Mancheng, the head of Xingluotang, not only did not cooperate with Fang Wei's plan, but instead ordered Fang Wei to
Wei sent it to Long Ruijun, expressing his attitude of surrendering to Long Ruijun.
"you mean?"
"Although Xingluotang is just a gang in the market, it has many eyes and ears and is sensitive to information." Yu Wencheng said: "Shou Bai is implementing the land equalization policy in western Liaoning, but he doesn't expect it to go as smoothly as he imagined. Are there still some people coming out from various counties?
This is causing trouble. This Mr. Cui Jiu is very prestigious in western Liaoning, and many local conflicts can be solved as long as Xingluotang comes forward."
Qin Xiao also understands that the court has its laws and the rivers and lakes have its rules.
Sometimes these two forces seem to be under the same sky, but they are like two worlds.
Jianghu forces cannot do everything that the government can do, but there are some things that Jianghu forces can easily pretend to do, but the government's power may not be able to do them well even if they try their best.
Qin Xiao actually knew that Xingluotang was not weak in western Liaoning. After all, Xingluotang relied on the government at the beginning. At best, it was helping the government run some errands. At worst, it was a lackey of the government. Although it was quite shameful to do so,
However, it has relied on the influence of the government for many years to develop and grow, and it has a solid foundation in western Liaoning.
"Let Cui Mancheng go find out the details of those pirates?"
Yu Wen Cheng nodded and said: "Exactly. If we want to find out the whereabouts and background of the pirates as soon as possible, Xingluotang is the best place. We don't have to have direct contact with the pirates first, let Xingluotang come forward to find out their whereabouts."
As for the details, as long as there are clues, Cui Mancheng can contact them first to test their tone. If they really want to be recruited, then Mr. Song can be asked to come forward and take charge of the matter."
"General, Lieutenant Yuwen's plan is very thorough." Song Shilian said immediately: "You can try this method."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "In that case, leave this matter to Yuwen County Lieutenant. You go to Cui Mancheng to discuss the matter."
Although the eldest son Yuwen Chengchao came from a Xiling family, he had a bold and uninhibited temperament and liked to interact with people in the world. Qin Xiao knew that he was working and asked Cui Mancheng to find out the details of the pirates. This showed that he had a good relationship with Cui Mancheng and judged that Cui Mancheng could do it.
Get this done.
"The most important thing right now is to keep an eye on Huangfu Yunzhao's actions." Qin Xiao said seriously: "The imperial court previously set up an Arms Department, and the government office was placed in Shunjincheng to be responsible for the logistics supply of Long Rui's army. Now,
Huangfu Yunzhao led his troops to Shunjin City. Although he would not be cruel to the Arms Department for the time being, he would definitely make things difficult for him. The Arms Department was already in name only. Huangfu Yunzhao could not let the Arms Department provide another grain to Long Ruijun.
." He looked at Huo Mianzhi and said, "Mr. Huo, you will need to work more on these logistical matters in the future."
Huo Mianzhi said respectfully: "General, don't worry, I will do my best."
"Lieutenant Yuwen, just as you mentioned Cui Mancheng, I have one more thing that I want to leave to them." Qin Xiao said seriously: "Over at the Armaments Department, Yuwen Huaiqian and Feixin are still in charge. They are now
They are in a tiger's den, but they are officials sent by the imperial court. As long as the Liaodong Army does not really raise the flag of rebellion, they dare not do anything to them for the time being." After a pause, he continued: "But I still feel uneasy, you can let me
Cui Mancheng sent someone to inquire about the situation first and see if there is a way for Master Yuwen and others to escape from Shunjincheng and return to western Liaoning. If Xingluotang can handle this matter well, I will definitely reward you heavily."
Yuwen Huaiqian was Yuwen Chengchao's uncle. After the Liaodong Army entered Shunjin City, Yuwen Chengchao had been worried, but naturally he couldn't take the initiative to ask Yuwen Huaiqian and others to withdraw. Now Qin Xiao took the initiative,
Yuwen Chengchao felt grateful and cupped his hands and said: "General, don't worry, my subordinates will take care of this matter."
When the meeting in western Liaoning was being held, there was a chilling atmosphere in the mansion of General Anton of the Liaodong Army.
There are thick documents piled on the general's desk.
General Anton Wang Xingchao frowned and looked solemn. In the hall, on the chairs on the left and right, important generals of the Liaodong Army were sitting. Each of these generals had soldiers and horses under their command. In the Liaodong Army, these dozen generals
Your opinion can almost decide the overall situation.
The Liaodong Army has been stationed in the Northeast for a hundred years. Many generals have made outstanding military exploits and accumulated prestige and strength. Naturally, this family has become an unshakable force in the Liaodong Army.
The aristocratic families in the Northeast have been suppressed and weakened by the Liaodong Army for many years, and they are only left with their last breath. Although the aristocratic merchants behind the Shibafang in the north were once famous families in the Northeast, they have now become the slaves of the Liaodong Army.
Puppet in hand.
The suppression of the Northeastern Aristocratic Family is of course not because the Liaodong Army wants to implement any major reform measures in the Northeast. Their purpose is pure and simple, which is to use the Liaodong Army to replace the Northeastern Aristocratic Family, crush the old Northeastern Aristocratic Family, and use the Liaodong Army as their team
A new aristocratic family was formed in the Northeast.
After so many years, the Liaodong Army's goals have achieved great results.
The Liaodong Army has formed six major families in the Northeast. The six major surnames not only hold military power in the army, but also control a large amount of fertile land through horse racing. More Liaodong generals are attached to these six major families.
People in the family are very capable of making money.
The six major families are naturally headed by the Wang family, the Huangfu family is second only to the Wang family, and the ancestors of the other four families are also generals who conquered the Bohai Sea.
"This matter needs to be considered again." After a period of silence, Wang Xingchao finally said calmly: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Is it necessary to kill the general just because of a defeat?" His eyes swept across the crowd and said: "According to this general's decision.
In the meantime, I’ll just fine him half a year’s salary.”
The gray-armored general sitting first on the right has already said: "General, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. This is indeed true, but this defeat is not an ordinary defeat. If you lose once on the battlefield, even if
The loss of troops and generals will not affect the overall situation, so it is not impossible to give him a chance to atone for his sins. However, this time Zhou Lie underestimated the enemy and rushed in without even directly confronting the pirates. He lost three warships and suffered hundreds of casualties.
If the trained elite sailors cannot be severely punished, I'm afraid the morale of the military will be dissatisfied."
This grey-armored general's surname was Tang Kaijia, and his status in the Liaodong Army was unusual.
Emperor Wu Zong stationed 20,000 elite soldiers and horses to guard Liaodong, and handed over the soldiers and horses to the famous general Dou Shunde. He even showed great kindness and gave him the surname Tang and changed his name to Tang Shunde.
Tang Shunde was the first general of the Liaodong Army. He changed his surname to Tang in order to intimidate the barbarians with his surname.
Shunde of the Tang Dynasty was a man of both civil and military skills, and he was in charge of one side and loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, he was also a famous general who shocked the world.
However, a hundred years have passed and the general has changed hands, but the Tang family is still the most powerful force in the Liaodong army. Tang Kaijia is a descendant of Tang Shunde. Relying on the glory of his ancestors, although he has not accomplished any great achievements, he has made great achievements in Liaodong.
Even Wang Xingchao did not dare to look down upon the military officers who said a few words.
"What General Tang said is absolutely true." The next general said solemnly: "The general sent Zhou Lie to suppress the bandits in order to open up the sea trade routes to fight against Long Ruijun's Heishan Trading Ground. As long as the sea trade routes
The supply of goods and energy will continue to be transported to Fucheng, and the trade with the north will not be interrupted. Among the Xile tribes, Buliuda and its affiliated tribes will naturally continue to trade with us, and the Bohai people can only trade with us.
Regarding trade, even the two big losers He Gu and Zhen Yu cannot put all their treasures on Long Ruijun. They will still conduct some trade in Fucheng. In this way, our finance and taxation in Fucheng will not be
Completely cut off. However, Zhou Lie's disastrous defeat led to the complete cutoff of maritime trade routes. This is no longer a loss of a city or a place, but a direct and heavy blow to our strategy."
Tang Shunde immediately said: "That's right. Without the source of goods, the northern tribes can only go to Montenegro. Our source of military expenditures has been cut off, but Long Ruijun's side is making money every day. As time goes by, both sides'
The strength gap will quickly shrink." He glanced at the generals present and sneered: "And the person who caused all these consequences is Zhou Lie."
The faces of all the generals were quite ugly.
For many years, Fucheng Trading Ground has been an inexhaustible gold mine, and everyone here is a direct beneficiary of Fucheng Trading Ground.
The maritime trade route was cut off, which was a devastating blow to Fucheng. The direct consequence was immeasurable losses to the interests of everyone present. From the perspective of their own interests, everyone here hated Zhou Lie to the bone.
"Zhou Lie is indeed inseparable from the defeat of the Liaodong Navy, and he must bear the main responsibility." Wang Xingchao said slowly with a stern expression: "But have you ever thought that Zhou Lie is one of the few in the world today?
A famous navy general, at least in our Liaodong Army, when it comes to commanding the navy, no one can surpass him." After a pause, he continued: "The enemy was able to destroy three of our warships in one battle, which shows their strategy and water warfare.
Their abilities are extraordinary. What I am considering now is not the issue of trade routes, but the issue of the entire Northeastern Sea. Let me ask you, if those pirates act recklessly in the Northeastern Sea from now on, who can lead the troops to deal with them? They
If they attack Changsheng Port, who can repel them?"
